Abstract
A sensor is used to identify detections of discrete objects in a search grid. An image grid of the detections is created. The image grid is analyzed to identify a pattern of detections. The pattern of detections is used to identify objects of interest.
Claims23
A method for using image grids in detection of discrete objects, comprising:
- using a sensor to identify detections in a search grid, wherein one or more of the detections are false alarms and one or more of the detections are objects of interest;
- creating an image grid of the detections;
- and
- analyzing the image grid to identify a pattern of detections.

A system for using image grids in detection of discrete objects, comprising:
- a sensor operable to identify detections in a search grid, wherein one or more of the detections are false alarms and one or more of the detections are objects of interest;
- and
- a processor operable to create an image grid of the detections and analyze the image grid to identify a pattern of detections.
